"There must be a way out!" Bonnie ran around the darkness.

Helen's sobs didn't help her, and Bonnie knew she was on her own.

His limbs hurt, but he felt great. The fight was Damon's area, and his speciality. Dracula was his equal in this fight. Strong and quick. Damon snickered as he slammed Dracula into an old table of ivory. He pinned him down, and moved up close to Dracula's ear.

"I will not yield!"

He was about to rip Drac's throat out when something heavy hit him in the backhead. Liv was not going to stand by apparently.

"Not...fair." He groaned.

"Like we care." She spat.

Bonnie's head flickered. Something was happening. Something she had to prevent from happening.

"Please..." She begged to nothing. "Please let me find a way!"

She took a deep breath and tried to concentrate.

"Goddess and God of light, lift the darkness, and let me see clearly." She chanted.

She had no idea if it would work, but she had to try. Her surrounding's disappeared, and Bonnie began seeing shadow figures, who became blurry, and then clear.

"Oh dear.." She gasped.

Damon was fighting, and losing. She could see the fight, as was she a part of it. And her body was there. She walked into it, but nothing happened. She just went through it.

"Damn."

She turned around ,and Damon spat blood out on the floor. In spite of the fact that he was clearly losing, he smiled. He was brave. Dracula grabbed a sword on the floor, and swung it.

"DAMON!"

"DAMON!" Liv suddenly yelled.

Dracula stopped, the blade inches from Damon's neck. Damon looked up, just as confused as Dracula. Liv looked wondering around herself.

"What was that?" She narrowed her eyes. "PUT DOWN THE SWORD!"

"What?" Dracula turned. "My love are you alright."

"Damon, oh no, I have to do something." Liv rambled. "What is happening to me?"

Damon sniggered, and licked his lips.

"Looks like Bonnie is still here."

Liv didn't laugh.

"Shut up you pathetic halfwit or I'l- Damon can you hear me?"

"Liv?" Dracula grabbed her shoulder.

"Kill him." Liv hissed under her breath. "I'll deal with this."

Dracula stepped back, and watched as Liv began an insane fight with herself.

"Don't hurt him, please I don't want to hear move of your sobbing! Do I really have to remind you that this body is mine now? No it's not, it's not, it's mine! It always have been, but not anymore, don't kill him, or what?"

It was insane. The voices shifted back and forth, and Dracula couldn't concentrate. Liv suddenly set out in a high scream, and sunk to the floor. Slowly she got up, and looked around hazily.

"I did it." She smiled.

"My love?"

"Red?" Damon coughed.

Her head turned sharply.

"Enough. I'll kill him. NOW!"

Dracula smiled down on Damon, and nodded.

"Of course my love."

"Sword." She ordered.

Dracula gave her the sword, and she stepped up to Damon. Her gaze was impossible to read.

"Goodbye..." She said.

The sword swung through the air, and the head dropped before the body. Dracula instantly became dust, and the sword hit the floor, with a thud. Bonnie's knees buckled, and she fell besides Damon.

"Bonnie?" Damon forced himself to lift her up.

"I won." She smiled. "I got my body back."

She supported herself to him, and he to her. Her inner fight with Liv had taken a lot of strength, and Bonnie felt extremely tired. When the fresh air hit their faces, Bonnie could take no more.

"I'm sorry..." She whispered.

There was no pulse, not reaction. Damon grit his teeth, and tried everything to wake Bonnie up.

"Come on Freckles! He muttered.

A thougth struck him. Should he try and...No he wouldn't turn her. Not ever. Maybe it was even too late for that now. He held her hand, and looked at the frail creature in his arms. She was precious to him, in ways he didn't even understand himself. She knew him, far better than anyone ever did or would. He buried his face in her hair, and his pride in the shadow of his feelings.

"Come on Bonnie...Wake up."

His lips found his way to hers, and gently brushed them. She still didn't move. What did he expect? That she would magically wake up? It wasn't a fairytale, more like a nightmare.

"For the love of all your friends..." He said. "You have to wake up!" His hands grabbed her, and shook her wildly.
"They need you!" He raised his voice, and savagely shook her. "I need you!"

It came back slowly. The small beat of a heart, and the blood that flowed. Her breath came back, and her eyelids flickered vaguely.

"Bonnie?" He caressed her cheek.

She opened her eyes, dazed, and confused. He could see her remember the events, and the tears from in the adorable eyes. She clung to him, and webt into his shirt.

"I was so scared." She cried muffled.

They sat on the ground for minutes. Holding each other. Damon comforted her, and Bonnie cried. Damon looked down at her, and cupped her chin.

"What are you doing?" She sniffed.

"I helped you, and nearly died for you. I think I've earned a reward." He droned charmingly.

He lifted her chin, and slowly kissed her. He wanted it to last, and he could feel her body shiver under his touch. Her arms folded over his neck, and she returned the kiss passionately. When their lips parted, they looked into each other's eyes.
"Thank you..." She said gratefully.

"You're welcome..." He closed his eyes, and kissed her again.

A.N.

Thanks for following, and reviewing. I'm sorry the last part didn't come out greatly, but I tried. One day later on I will try with another VD fanfiction, because the universe of the books is amazing. I hope one day Damon and Bonnie will be joined for real, because let's face it...They are possibly the best pair of the books ;)
